A former hospital drive entrance can be seen beyond the barrier. From 1902 this site housed The Sherwood Forest Sanatorium (later changed to Ransom Sanatorium as a memorial to its first Physician Superintendent). After ceasing to function as a unit for clients with learning difficulties in 1976, it was renovated and became The Ransom Wood Business Park.
